To IEA by Paul Powell Secretary of State Shorter hours of daylight mark the beginning of the winter season. Once again we jvill be faced with heavy traffic during the haze of dusk to d'aWn. Rush hour .traffic will be operating during this period, which experts consider as poor for dHving. One of the . best ways to avoid being in too big a hurry to get to work and become snarled in traffic, is to leave McHenry county teachers, supervisors and administrators at I.E.A. convention, left to right: Carrie Hags Harvard, Leila Coons and Beulah Allayaud, Woodstock, K&n Englund, aftd Agnes Thomsen, Crystal Lake, Mr. Thirteen techers of McHenry county used three days of their recent holiday Vacation to attend the 113th annual meeting of the Illinois Education association in the Sherman House, Chicago. Two, William Hutchinson and Don Seaton, were from McHenry. The Representative assembly of the association, consisting of more than 900 delegates, representing 70,000 members, considered basic problems in school finance, administration and organization, pupil-teacher welfare, and other subjects. The delegates examined problems directly related to die educational profession, including professional negotiations, salaries, contractual obligations, etc. The delegation from the Northeastern division, o f which ithe McHenry county district is a part, had 100 percent representation. and Mrs. Terry West, Marengo, Sally. Ronan Woodstock, Duane Sheldon, Cary-Groye, William Hutchinson and Don Seaton, McHenry anfl C. W. Coons Alden-Hebron.

"Dear Editor: (Attention City Fathers) "I would like to express my feelings toward the skat-, ing pond behind the Admiral factory." For a few years now I have been going down there and skating, but only this year I have disliked it. The ice is very rough and chopped up besides the fact that it is this way because of hockey players. "I don't mind hockey at all because I myself like the game. I think if the ice was flooded at below zero weather and after curfew things would be much better. Half should be for hockey and the other for leisure skating. 'I think if you would flood the pond the next cold night we would have Tpcany kids who would be much happier. Thank you. "A Skater "Pat Conway" A Imst Of Good Health .. Hopefully, we can look forward to a year of good health in 1967! As the American Medic&l association points out, the past year was one of encouraging developments that may help ensure many of us a lortger, mbre comfortable life. „ Here's some of the medical progress of 1966: -- The first successful, implantation of artificial devices, popularly but incorrectly called "artifical hearts," into the chests of human beings to aid failing hearts. -- A drug that preliminary investigation indicated may improve memory. -- A dignified scientific study that gives a clearer understanding of the mysteries of human sexual response. -- Adaptation and improvement of Russian-built artificial limbs by Canadian physicians. These devices derive motive power from the electric potential of muscle eliminating the need for straps and springs. Finally, 1966 might be, characterized as- the year of vaccines. A mumps vaccine proved nearly 100 per cent effective in clinical trials. A prophylactic vaccine showed nearly total effectiveness in protecting unborn infants against the deadly "Rh factor" in some mothers' blood. Work continued on German measles vaccines, with great success reported in human trials. Wide use of existing vaccines was urged in a campaign to stamp out measles. As yet there is no end of the road to perfect health. Medicine makes no promise that we will ever get there -- certainly not in the near future. Physicians still lose battles against such old killers as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. But prospects continue to improve for a rich, full life and a meaningful old age. One of the people we can thank for this is the American doctor. SUNDAY'S A SERMON SECOND CHANCE How many times during the year now ended, whenever you failed, whenever you missed an Opportunity* did you wish you could turn back the pages of time and have another go at the problem or the chance? There is seldom a second time around. Yet, life is a continuing series of events, bringing n$w problems, new opportunities. Whatever happened during 1966 is now history. Now, the q u e s t i o n b e c o m e s , "What w i l l . happen during 1967?" The pages of each new day are yours to mark upon. They bring challenge, opportunity, joy and sadness; but each man writes his own record of defeat, acceptance, oj: achievement. If experience has taught you anything at all, you should be better prepared in the year ahead ' than you were in the year that is now dead. Much of what happens to you during 1967 really depends upon you. your home a little earlier. This way, you will discover, will prevent you from "pushing" for every inch. You can eliminate the necessity of driving bumper to bumper and not allowing a safe distance between vehicles. When you arrive at your place of business, I'm sure you will find that you feel much better than on some previous mornings that you found yourself in a big hurry. The law says that when driving at dusk you must have your headlights on. It is illegal to use your parking lights. They just don't do the job when you are traveling in the haze. Be alert on the highway and watch out fop yourself as well as others. A copy of "Rules of the Road" will be sent you tax free upon request. Write to Paul Powell, Secretary of State, Springfield, Illinois.
